About
Hi, we’re Ali and Clay.
We’re a husband and wife team based on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. We have been in the creative industry since 2023. We specialize in digital photo, and super 8mm films (think your grandparent’s home videos). Ali handles the photos while Clay tackles all things video. We’ve dipped our toes into shooting weddings, brands, lifestyle, couples, families, maternity, you name it. But after becoming parents ourselves, we’ve decided to pour our creative energy into primarily family and lifestyle sessions. We have two little boys at home that are our whole world. We know littles — we understand the chaos, the mess, the unpredictability. Yet we also see the beauty in all the ordinary moments that come with having kids, and we LOVE making those moments shine. We’ve been married for 5 years, so we are also very passionate about marriage and love and love capturing that too. And don’t even get Ali started on the beauty of pregnancy and motherhood :) All that to say, we’re in your shoes. And if you find yourself in one of these life stages, chances are, we would love to meet you, grab a cup of coffee, and take your photos. Every season is fleeting — let’s capture it while we can.
More fun facts about us — We love surfing, hiking, a good oat-milk latte, playing music together, making good vegan food, working out, and most of all — hanging out with our baby boys. If that sounds like you - let’s be friends!
